Netherlands vs Serbia

Philips Stadion

NetherlandsWinner
2:1
Serbia

Netherlands have remained unbeaten in their six listed matches, securing three wins and three draws. Their attacking output has been consistent, highlighted by C. Gakpo, C. Summerville, and B. Brobbey, while B. Verbruggen has been active in goal. In contrast, Serbia have endured a difficult period, losing five of their last six listed matches. Their only victory in that sequence came against Saudi Arabia in March. Defensively, Serbia have struggled to contain opponents, conceding sixteen goals across those matches while managing just five of their own. V. Milinković-Savić has been kept busy in goal, recording eighteen saves, but the team has not kept a clean sheet in any of their listed appearances.

There is little history between these two sides on our record. The only meeting we hold was the match on 27 September 2026, which Netherlands won.

  • Netherlands are unbeaten in all six of their listed matches.
  • Serbia have lost five of their last six matches across all competitions.
  • Netherlands hold a higher goal-scoring record in recent play compared to Serbia.
  • Serbia have conceded sixteen goals in their six most recent listed matches.

Netherlands enter this match with significantly stronger recent form and the confidence of a victory against Serbia just one week ago. While Serbia will look to tighten their defensive structure, their difficulty in securing results in recent months leaves them with a challenging task. Netherlands appear well-positioned to build on their unbeaten run, though the visitors will be eager to end their losing streak.

No absences were reported for either squad.
